Excellent documentary of two British sisters who came to Canada in the early 1800's. They overcame the hardships of a pioneer woman. They each gave birth to several children and cared for them often by themselves as their husbands were either fighting a war or finding paying work elsewhere. Each woman has a different point of view and each became an author.

A documentary well worth watching. Shows the hardship these women had to overcome when they moved to Canada early in the 19th century, and how they managed to become Canadian writers - each with their own distinctive views of living in the bush.
